This should do it.
That would make it more obvious, but I think there's one answer that would be more simple than any of ours.

kong was sposed to give a hint after 24hours, im thinking that these variations would be close enough that hed reveal the answer
Every 72 hours you must give another hint or outline a post that was close, not 24 hours. 24 hours is the amount of time you have to give the riddle.
Everyone here seems to be leaving out the piece that the switches can only be flipped ten times, I'd think that would have to be relevant to the answer, but I don't see it.
Okay, so, for three of them, we could use that trick, yes?
If so, then maybe leave one on long enough to burn out, then use the temperature trick. Still seems sketchy though.
Correct. Post a new riddle.

The original riddle is for three light bulbs. The answer is googable so I made it 4 bulbs and added a twist. The missing step is easy to get and not in Google.
If you turn on an regular old energy inefficient bulb it will be fully hot in a matter of seconds. To be able to open the door, enter the room and touch all the bulbs and compare temps before the temps start to change is unlikely. There is a better answer.
Okay, the leaving one on long enough to burn out is lame. My methodology was more efficient and doesn't require you to wait hundreds of hours. Also, how do you tell the burnt out one from one that is merely off?
I agree. I never would've considered that answer due to how lame it seems.
Lamer than the trick question "can you guess this riddle? no." Riddles are supposed to have strange answers that you don't immediately think of. If they were straight forward and obvious then they would be trivia questions or just questions.
Riddle making is not as hard as one would think, me and a bud make quite a few of them daily.
Also, If you don't have the time, then I can understand, but I'm just pretty let down so far. Though maybe it's just the nitpicky other side of me that I repress(?)
